Stone is no stranger to the Oscars, as the 28-year-old has had a tremendous amount of success in her young career. This year’s nomination is her second for an Academy Award — she did not win for her role in 2014’s “Birdman” — and she has been nominated for three Golden Globes, one of which she won earlier this year.

Stone was born and raised in Scottsdale and pursued acting throughout her time in the Valley. She attended Xavier College Preparatory, an all-female private high school in Phoenix before dropping out and moving to Los Angeles with her mother at the age of 15.
